Washington, DC – The day after RFK Jr. was confirmed to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), his and Donald Trump’s radical and dangerous agenda is already underway. News reports indicate that the Trump administration is in the process of firing thousands of scientists and public health officials — decimating our entire health care infrastructure. In response, Protect Our Care President Brad Woodhouse issued a statement:
“Donald Trump is taking his war on American health care to a new and dangerous level in a late Friday massacre. These outrageous personnel cuts will touch every corner of American health care, severely limiting the ability to keep people safe and healthy. Nothing is off limits with RFK Jr. in charge: he is wiping away resources for vaccines, cancer research, and other lifesaving cures. On his first full day after being sworn in, RFK Jr. is already doing the bidding of Trump and ignoring what is best for the health of the country. Trump and his cronies will stop at nothing to dismantle the American health care system, and make no mistake: this will cost lives.”
